   >Scotland's first minister has described his new hate crime law as   
   >"absolutely balanced" on the day the controversial legislation came into   
   >force amid a barrage of criticism.   
      
   Trump's bigoted and woke, and he's hated in Scotland because he's into   
   illegal Mexican slave labor.   
      
   Donald Trump will be greeted by at least two Mexican flags, placed near his   
   Aberdeenshire golf course in Scotland, when he visits the country later   
   this week.   
      
   It’s a symbolic reminder of those he’s offended locally and internationally   
   and a sign that the presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee should   
   not expect a warm welcome after years-long contention surrounding the   
   links, locals say.   
      
   “He’s notoriously disliked here,” said Stan Blackley, an Edinburgh resident   
   who famously rubbed a yellow balloon on Trump’s head in 2012. “When he   
   comes, we can almost feel the hair up the spine of Scotland stand up.”   
      
   Blackley, a 46-year-old environmental campaigner, is one of many who oppose   
   the real estate tycoon’s presence in Scotland. Almost 600,000 people   
   earlier this year signed a petition calling for Trump to be banned from   
   entering the U.K. Many of the signatures came from Scotland, according to   
   The Atlantic.   
      
   “To some extent, I’m worried about his visit. He’s a blatantly racist,   
   sexist, misogynistic idiot,” said David Milne, who recently erected a   
   Mexican flag on top of his house near Trump’s International Golf Links   
   course. “We would be far happier without him being here.”   
      
   The 51-year-old has long been an enemy of Trump, and vice versa. (Trump   
   called Milne a “loser” in a tweet in late 2012.) Milne has been a vocal   
   critic of Trump and his developments after the mogul failed years ago to   
   acquire his land and the homes of his neighbors on the Menie Estate.   
      
   The two Mexican flags fly to protest Trump’s arrival and the incendiary   
   comments he made last year about Mexicans being “rapists” who bring crime   
   and drugs to America, he said. “It was in solidarity with the Mexicans and   
   now everyone else who has been threatened, harassed and intimated by this   
   man,” Milne told TIME on Wednesday. “I basically just want him to be aware   
   of the fact that we’re still here—another example that he has failed. He   
   did not chase us off our land.”   
      
   One Mexican flag adorns Milne’s home while the other, put up by another   
   major Trump detractor, stands 20 feet tall about 100 feet from the boundary   
   of Trump’s links. Many locals support its statement, Blackley and Milne   
   said. “Whether you’re anybody except Trump, he’s kind of said something   
   dumb and horrible about you,” Blackley said. “It’s solidarity.”   
      
   Trump, whose campaign did not immediately return a request for comment,   
   picked Scotland to build his golf course because he is half Scottish, he   
   says on the International Golf Links’ website.   
      
   He plans to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the rededication of the   
   renovated Trump Turnberry golf course, south of Glasgow, on June 24 before   
   he visits his Aberdeen golf course on Saturday.   
      
   But locals may not roll out the welcome mat. “I don’t think very many   
   people want him here,” Milne said, adding that it’s “horrific” how far   
   Trump has come in the U.S. election. “They’ve seen that he’s   
   unacceptable—someone who has been pulled out of the dark ages, basically a   
   prehistoric Neanderthal.”
